Lipsy Flick
by PerfectPeaches For my sister's birthday in May this year she received a very lovely pair of sandals made by the brand Lipsy. They were made from a soft rubber and also known as a pair of jellies basically. My sister who is older than me made it quite clear she didn't like them after graciously receiving them and instead of returning them she stored ... them away in her closet until I decided to take them off her hands! I was one of those children who wore jelly sandals and although I wouldn't be seen wearing them now, the adult versions of playful flip flops (Ted Baker has a current range) and sandals I think are cute and a bit of fun. The pair which I now own (well stole) are from a brand called Lipsy which is quite a popular brand who have a range of women's clothing and footwear. I've had various items from Lipsy and I find that their prices are incredibly reasonable for what you are actually buying. Lipsy have quite a small range of jelly type footwear and the pair of sandals I have claimed are a pair called Flick and they come in either black, white or metallic (gold glitter). I didn't have a choice as I didn't buy them but my sister received the black pair which would have been my preferred choice so I'm not complaining! Now from having a bit of a look around they are not currently on the Lipsy website but they do feature on my favourite website www.kurtgeiger.com and have been reduced from £25.00 to £12.00. Even at full price they are by no means expensive but you are obviously paying for the Lipsy name. However, at a very reasonably £12.00 it certainly makes them a bargain buy! Lipsy isn't the hardest brand to get hold of but if these are already in the sale most retailers and stockists will be following suit so if you are wanting a pair of jelly sandals and like the look of these don't take too long to think about it! Flick are completely made of 'jelly' or rubber and the black version is completely solid in colour but with a gloss finish. They are a toe post or thong type sandal which I do know some people can find uncomfortable but for me this isn't a problem at all. The main design of the shoe features around the ankle as there are two straps which are done up by two small silver buckles which can be loosened or tightened depending on how you want them adjusting. Of course, rubber isn't the stretchiest of materials so it won't give like leather would. Apart from the straps the thong part of the sandal comes up all the way over the top of your foot and is actually part of the straps. To look at these aren't the most glamorous sandals but then they are made of jelly! However, to add a little bit of glamour they do feature three circular plastic gems on the front of the strap which goes over the top of your foot which is nice and gives them just a bit of much needed detail. Regardless of which colour you buy the gems will be colour co-ordinated with the sandal. The black version which I now have have matching black gems with silver edging. Now I'm not one for a lot of bling and I think the three gems being slightly oversized really gives these sandals a nice decorative touch. Being made from rubber they are a basic style of sandal as there is no padding whatsoever but for general wear they are perfectly fine. They have a slightly sloped sole to them giving your foot a bit of lift making them just that little bit more comfortable than a pair of completely flat sandals so they shouldn't make the arch of your foot ache. However, although I do think they are rather cute to look at I don't think they would be the most comfortable pair of sandals in the world especially if wanting to wear them for long periods of time but then what jelly shoes are going to be super comfortable?! A month or so ago I took these on a short break to Portugal as I wanted something casual to wear but a bit posher than your average flip flop and yes I know these are not particularly posh but one up from a basic thong flip flop! The sandals are soft on the skin which is expected and the buckles on the straps which go around your ankle/leg are easily adjusted to fit comfortable. Most of your feet are obviously exposed so there is no support whatsoever so not ideal for those that like supportive shoes but more me they are perfectly fine especially just for casual use. The only problem I did find was that if the straps are done up too tight they can rub a little around the leg especially in warm weather and if like me paddling in the sea wearing them can also cause a bit of irritation. Being jelly the straps won't stretch which is definitely a good thing but I do think if they are worn too much the holes in the straps may split the rubber. As rubber/jelly won't stretch they will keep their shape and they do look and feel quite durable so I am hoping that they will last a lot better than the old style jellies. I wore these throughout my short break and have worn then quite a bit since as I learnt to keep the straps loose around my leg and they won't rub! I can't say that these are the best pair of sandals that I have well stole from my sister and although I really do like them I wouldn't have paid full price for them as I just don't think they are worth it especially for being so basic. However, the sale price of £12.00 makes them an easier buy especially considering what they are made from. I do find them comfortable to wear but with such little arch support for the feet I think after a few hours they would probably start to ache and I learnt quickly not to do the straps up too tight! 'Flick' are a lovely pair of sandals ideal for casual wear and for taking on holiday and I'd like to think that they will last or at least wear well but so far considering they have had a fair bit of use already they still look in perfect condition. I'd recommend them simply as a retro alternative to jelly sandals especially at their sale price as they certainly won't break the bank. They have a very simple but versatile design as they can be worn with most outfits and both during the day and night. If wanting a cheap sandal for holidays rather than a simple flip flop these may be worth trying and at less than half price you may just find a good bargain! ~ Useful Information ~ Brand: Lipsy Sizes: 3 to 9 Price: Was £25.00 Now £12.00 Availability: Lipsy stockists such as Kurt Geiger Colour(s): Black, white & metallic Read the complete review |

Lipsy Studded Sandals
by brady58 I bought my Lipsy studded sandals last year during the summer to go with the Lipsy dress I had bought for my summer holiday. I paid around £55 for them which I remember thinking was a good price especially for a decent brand when similar one's on the high street were almost the same price if not more. I have a few pairs ... of Lipsy shoes and also quite a few dressed from them and I always find them to make beautiful well made things and these shoes are no different. They are a sandal but they also have a high stilleto heel making them perfect for a warm evening out somewhere. Be warned though that the heel is on the high side at around 4 inches but the platform sole balances it out slightly making them easier to walk in. They have a double strap fastening at the ankle and this does make them feel quite secure when they are on and I don't feel like my feet are going to slip out of them. There is a t-bar going down the middle and over the bottom of the feet and toes there are a further 4 straps so my feet feel well enclosed in them. The straps do have a habbit of rubbing which can be painful after they have been on for awhile but this is the price we pay for wearing beautiful shoes. My favourite thing about the shoes is the embellishments on them. On all the straps and the t-bar are gold studs which are mirrored and really shiney and this just gives them that added touch of glam when wearing them. To be honest they aren't the most comfortable shoe but the fat that they are so pretty more than makes up for this in my opinion anyway and they look beautiful with the Lipsy dress I bought. They are also one of my favourite shoes to wear with just a pair of jeans and they really help dress up a plain outfit making it look more dressy. Even though I have worn them loads since buying them they have remained in excellent condition with only scruffing to the sole underneath. I did worry that the studs might fall out as I have a cheaper pair of shoes with studs where that happened but I didn't have to worry about that with these one's as the studs are securely attached still. I have been very happy with my Lipsy sandals and highly recommend them, they add a touch of glamour to any outfit and I now can't wait for the weather to warm up a little so I can start wearing them again.

Lipsy Studded Sandals
by tinkerbell69 I bought these Lipsy sandals in the sales as they were reduced from £55 to £35 and they are well worth the money! They are absoloutely stunning! You can get them in either tan or black, i personally have them in black and i think they are gorgeous. With the black pair the heel contrasts the rest of the shoe by being shiny and silver ... which makes it really stand out. The black ones are also covered with gold studs giving them that gladiator look about them. They are comfortable too and aren't so high so that you are unable to walk in them. I wore mine all night and my feet didn't hurt. They are also nice and secure on your feet as they fasten together with two little buckles which you can tighten, so they don't feel slack on your feet. I wore them when the weather was bad too and they have been durable and are still in tip top condition, they didn't make me slip about all over the place either! These shoes atrracted a lot of nice comments from others about how flattering they were. The great thing about them too is that they can be worn with so many different outfits. I wore mine with jeans and they could also be worn with a dress or skirt outfit. They make a lovely addition to my shoe collection and i am proud to own these Lipsy sandals!
